Is it okay to have sex with vaginitis?

Women with vaginitis should refrain from sexual intercourse during treatment. On the one hand, it can avoid friction during sexual intercourse, which can cause vaginal congestion and aggravate inflammation; on the other hand, it can prevent the transmission of pathogens to the male partner, avoiding mutual infection in the future and forming a vicious cycle.

After the treatment, the leucorrhea can be checked again after the next menstruation. If the test result is negative and the inflammation has disappeared by naked eye, sexual intercourse can be resumed. If the test result is still positive, treatment must be continued, and the male party can be examined or both men and women can be treated together.

Symptoms of vaginitis include increased vaginal discharge and vulvar itching. In severe cases, there may be bladder irritation symptoms such as frequent urination and urgency, or pain during sexual intercourse. The vulvar itching of senile vaginitis is not obvious, and the main symptom is yellow watery vaginal discharge.

The diagnosis and examination of vaginitis require relevant medical history and symptoms. Vaginal examination shows congestion and edema of the vaginal mucosa, which may be accompanied by bleeding spots or ulcers in severe cases. The vaginal mucosa of senile vaginitis becomes thinner, the wrinkles become flattened, and there are scattered small bleeding spots. The discharge of trichomoniasis is thick, yellow-green and frothy, and microscopic examination reveals a large number of active Trichomonas. Candida vaginitis is characterized by white dregs-like or curd-like secretions, and microscopic examination may reveal Candida albicans hyphae or spores. If the secretions are cultured, Candida albicans will grow. Senile vaginitis is a thin yellow liquid, and microscopic examination shows a large number of white blood cells and basal cells of the vaginal epithelium.

After understanding whether sexual intercourse is okay when having vaginitis, women must seek timely treatment when they have vaginitis. Moreover, the treatment of this disease not only takes a period of time, but also during the treatment, they should choose light food in their diet, so that the food will not burden the body and will be helpful for the treatment of the disease.
